Neuropeptidergic signaling is widely adopted by animals for the regulation of physiology and behavior in a rapidly changing environment. The vasopressin/oxytocin neuropeptide family originates from an ancestral peptide precursor in the antecedent of protostomian and deuterostomian animals. In vertebrates, vasopressin and oxytocin have both hormonal effects on peripheral target tissues, such as in the regulation…

Sleep is characterized by reduced muscle activity resulting in reduced movement and a typical posture compatible with relaxed muscles. Prior to each molt, C. elegans larvae go through a phase of behavioral quiescence called Lethargus. Lethargus has sleep-like properties, but a specific posture has not yet been described. Do C. elegans larvae relax their muscles…

Thermotaxis is a model to elucidate how nervous systems sense and memorize environmental conditions to regulate behavioral strategies in Caenorhabditis elegans. The genetic and neural imaging analyses revealed molecular and cellular bases of this experience-dependent behavior. Surprisingly, thermosensory neurons themselves memorize the sensed temperatures. Recently developed techniques for optical manipulation of neuronal activity have facilitated…

The behavior of the well-characterized nematode, Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans), is often used to study the neurologic control of sensory and motor systems in models of health and neurodegenerative disease. To advance the quantification of behaviors to match the progress made in the breakthroughs of genetics, RNA, proteins, and neuronal circuitry, analysis must be able…

Worm template — frequently asked questions
How do I write a paper in the Worm format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Worm template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Taylor & Francis format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Worm use?
Worm uses Author–year (Chicago, T&F) references, shown as author–year markers such as (Smith, 2023) in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: Smith, Ada, Ben Jones, and Cara Lee. 2023. "A Representative Article Title." Worm 12 (3): 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Worm?
No. DocuGuru generates the interact LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Taylor & Francis-ready Worm document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Worm template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Worm format with correct headings, figures, tables, and author–year citations.
Who publishes Worm?
Worm is a multidisciplinary journal published by Taylor & Francis. DocuGuru's Worm template matches Taylor & Francis's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready Worm PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Worm template (the interact class) that is ready to submit to Taylor & Francis, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Worm template cost?
You can start writing in the Worm template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Worm PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
